And who can tell you if the iphone doesn’t detect benchmark apps as benchmark apps and run these at full speed? VW did the same for improved emissions values. Would better wait for real life apps like the upcoming AAA games to see performance and heat development.
So that will be update number 3 then. Apple needs to sort it's testing out. This operating system was released to the public 12 days ago and we are about to see our third software update. For the premium paid on these products that's not acceptable.
That may also be the case, but Apple decided to use them and should have fully tested everything before releasing the product.
How is it a hardware malfunction when many people have not had an issue? It’ll just be a rogue process using power, just like they said. It’ll be completely evident if they throttle the CPU, we can all measure that.
No heat issues on my Canadian built pro max ( according to country code after the model No).
However there is a bug with 5ghz 160 wifi where it just says no internet.

Oh ok. Wasn’t sure that it really turned out to a broken camera after it happened… sad to hear this.
In general I think it’s safe to say to not buy a new iPhone day1 anymore if you really want to be safe and you rely heavily on the phone. It’s the best to wait until the iOS .1 release of the current OS.
Proper throttleing is totally fine and needed for a smartphone. Every phone throttles, the question is when and how heavily.
Apple already claimed that the SoC won’t get throttled more with the update. People will test this.
There are several new chips involved (cpu and cellular) and a new hardware design both of which didn’t see extensive in the wild testing.
Sure but this issue is unrelated to hardware requiring throttling. If you follow the reports for overheating people have the issue when the phone is just charging or making a phone call. Others report a rapid increase in heat for a few minutes then resolves. Most likely there are rogue processes running that are causing the SOC to run at full power, creating heat and draining the battery, when it shouldn't be doing anything at all.
Is it just me or does the phone over heat while on a call more than any other time?
Apple plans to release an iOS 17 update to address a bug that may contribute to the reported iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating issue, according to a statement the company shared today with MacRumors and Forbes reporter David Phelan.
Apple also says some recent updates to third-party apps have overloaded the system and contributed to the overheating issue. The report notes that some of these apps include Instagram, Uber, and the racing game Asphalt 9: Legends, and Apple is working with the developers of these apps to address the issue. The report adds that Instagram already introduced a fix as part of an update to the app released on Wednesday.
Apple says iPhone 15 Pro models may run warmer than expected during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device due to increased background activity. This is standard behavior for new iPhones and only a temporary condition.
Apple's statement:The bug should be fixed with iOS 17.1, which is currently in beta and is expected to be released in late October. It's quite possible that Apple might also make a bug fix available sooner with a smaller software update, such as iOS 17.0.3.
According to the report, Apple will not be reducing the performance of the A17 Pro chip as part of the temperature-related bug fix. Apple also said the issue is not a safety risk and will not impact the long-term performance of affected iPhones.
Apple said the iPhone 15 Pro's titanium frame and aluminum substructure do not contribute to the overheating issue, ruling out a hardware problem.
Not all iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users have experienced overheating, and it's unclear how many customers are affected by the issue overall, but it should be resolved soon.

One thing people forget is that back when iPhones were released the software was described as firmware. While the phone does come with an OS, firmware plays a huge part of optimizing hardware. It happens on every type of computing hardware, and vendors like Intel or Lenovo constantly release firmware updates. It should be resolvable.
True story: both my mum and I have iPhones. Over iMessage I mentioned my neighbor whose name is Epson. Mum replied “that’s a printer”. Keep in mind this is over “encrypted iMessage” and neither of us backup our iMessages in iCloud. Later that same day I had an ad on Facebook for Epson printers. I did not say his name out loud. Only over iMessage. We both immediately decided it’s time to use Signal as our primary means of communicating. We’ve both had it for a while now, but now it’s our primary means of communication after that. Privacy > convenience.Just access your Facebook and Instagram account via Safari and delete the apps and this will go away.
Meta is probably rifling through all your photos and data running recognition scans and it heats up the CPU.
well wait and see if throttling happens, anyway just did Geekbench right now with my one year old iPhone 14 Pro max iOS 17.1 beta with increased results both single core and multicore, didn't see this coming. Thanks Apple.
